hi there
It is quite normal for pregnant ladies to develop palpitations during pregnancy because of elevated diaphragm and therefore pushing up the heart.
Developing blood pressure is also equally common. As you are due for a check up please ensure that you also get an echo done
And that would be helpful
all the best
